i guess we need some good news for the day.
i took the bullet like someone who plays russian roulette with a fully loaded gun and decided to move all my stuff from my Wii to Wii U without removing homebrew because i forgot most of the procedures to update and i was lazy to look up that stuff.
lo and behold, the wii transfer tools worked fine on both sides and never asked anything about stuff like the homebrew channel and out of region games (the software even imported all the japanese saves i had and showed their names correctly lol)
i guess this saves a lot of headaches to people since they can just move their stuff freely and leave the Wii as a homebrew-only box.
it even moves uncopyable things like SSBB, fortune Street and MKWii save data. rejoice for those who wanted to completely ditch their old Wii.
the pikmin sure work hard.
as a note, the homebrew i had installed was USB loader, d2x IOS and the homebrew channel. i was in system menu 4.2 and updated the shop with DOP-shop.
edit: none of the homebrew channels or applications transfer over. the system checks your shop history to determine what comes over from the shop.
